Porto Port about two o'clock in the mornin … Porto Port about two o'clock in the morning on or about the tw[?elveth GUTTER]<br />
of November 1654 at which tyme it was darke and a very scant of<br />
wynde, and by reason of the darke also of the morning and scantnesse of<br />
the winde hee saith the sayd Jeggles overshott his said Port about three or<br />
fower leagues to the Southwards and not above And further hee cannot depose/
To the 4th and 5th hee saith that the next day (being as hee remebereth the 13th of the<br />
sayd moneth) the sayd Jeggles soe soone as winde and weather would permit<br />
came againe with the sayd shipp before Porto Port, and then (according as<br />
such cases is accustomed) made two or three shott to give notice for a<br />
Pylott to come aboard from shoare, and carry in the sayd shipp and [?then GUTTER]<br />
lay soe neere shoare as hee durst for feare of danger (the winde<br />
blowing stronger to shoare and against tyde) and having expected a pylott<br />
and none comeing from shoare by reason the winde was contrary for them<br />
to come out, and flood being spent, and it being like to prove most<br />
stormie and tempesteous weather, the sayd Jeggles to prevent danger of her,<br />
his sayd shipp being driven ashoare and for the better security of her,<br />
her ladeing and her companyes lives, did stand off to sea, and that<br />
night the weather proved very stormy and tempestious and the winde<br />
encreased and blew very stronge to shoare, soe that this deponent in his<br />
Judgement is verily persuaded that had not the sayd Jeggles stood off<br />
to sea as he did, but continued all night before Porto Port the sayd<br />
shipp and her ladeing and Company had bin in eminent danger of<br />
being drive ashoare and perishing in the sea this hee deposeth upon<br />
the grounds of knowledge as aforesayd And further cannot depose
To the 6th hee saith that the next day videlicet the fowerteenth of the sayd<br />
moneth the weather continued very stormy and tempestuous, and<br />
drove the shipp the ''Anne'' to southwards of Porto Port almost as<br />
farr as the Burlings, and the winde being Northerly and noe hope<br />
of gaineing Porto Port till the winde and weather altered, this deponent [?heard GUTTER]<br />
Edmond Cowse the brother of the articulate James Cowse speake to<br />
the sayd Jeggles upon the deck in the presence of this deponent and diverse other<br />
of the ''Annes'' company, and advise him make to make to some<br />
Port or other for better securitie till winde and weather would<br />
permitt to goe for Porto Port, whereupon the sayd Jeggles went in<br />
the sayd shipp to Lisbone, (it being the nearest and most convenient<br />
Port and arrived there safely the next day after being the fifteenth of the sayd moneth with the sayd shipp and<br />
ladeing And further hee cannot depose/
To the 7th and 8th hee sayth that the sayd shipp and ladeing being gott safe to Lisbone<br />
the said Edmond Cowse did there cause to be taken ashoare the<br />
greatest part of the sayd shipps ladeing diverse other goods aboard her, and there<br />
